A Control System of the Transferring Robot in Car Assembly Line

In the car assembly line made from a mix of ground plate-type conveying machinery and suspension conveying machinery, a control scheme of the car body automatically conveyed from the ground conveying machinery to overhead one is proposed, and the specific implementing methods are presented. The transferring robot adopts the Cartesian coordinate system and achieves the devices of lifting car bodies in linear motion along with four degrees of freedom by using four servo motors. The control system presented in this paper consists of the SIEMENS S7-300 T-CPU PLC, SINAMICS S120 servo driver components.
